BG2 friendship/romance overview

Valerie's Romance Requirements: Female human, half-elf, half-orc, elf, or dwarf of good or neutral alignment with 12 or better reputation and cannot be a wild mage.

If you meet Valerie's romance requirements, she'll flirt with you throughout the romance (unless you tell her such advances are unwelcome) and there will be opportunities to make your own advances.

You have until lovetalk 14 to meet Valerie's romance requirements and trigger the explicitly romantic phase of the relationship - lovetalk 14 ends the friendship arc and the relationship will only continue if you romance her.

"The righteous need not cower before the drumbeat of human progress. Though the song of yesterday fades into the challenge of tomorrow, God still watches and judges us. Evil lurks in the datalinks as it lurked in the streets of yesterday, but it was never the streets that were evil." - Sister Miriam Godwinson, Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri
